The African continent has over 450
million people speaking more than
1,000 differ~nt languages. Its nations,
like so many in the world including the
United States of America, have
emerged from European colonialism to
varying degrees of indepe~dence. The
allegiances of the countries of Africa
are as diverse as their landscapes,
languages and beliefs. About the only
thing they all agree on is their distaste
for the racial policies of the Union of
South Africa. Communism has made
its usual inroads into the political
fabric of many countries, but is up
against its old implacable enemy,
Islam, and, of course, the U. S. and
Western Europe. At the moment, the
continent is seething and the economic
development of most African nations
must wait until stability arrives. In
most cases, it is years away.
For these reasons, the impact of
Thunderbirds has been relatively small
in comparison with Latin America,
Europe and the Middle and Far East.
As could be expected, most graduates
are in South Africa and Liberia. In
general, Americans wor king there are
working for such well-known compa­nies
as Caterpillar, Firestone, Goodyear
and Colgate Palmolive. What's hap­pening
now which is of great impor­tance
to Thunderbird, is that the school
is beginning to obtain a very represen­tative
number of African students hop­ing
to learn our technology and return
to their homelands. In the past year we
have had students from Tanzania,
Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon and the
Sudan.
This is a good beginning, but the
school wants to be more helpful to
these developing nations. You alumni
who are in Africa can be of great help
to us and, of course, to the Africans
themselves by steering good students
our way.
William Voris
President
Alumni director's greetings
This issue of the Thunderbird Maga­zine
is the last in a series of issues that
have focused on various regions of the
world. I have enjoyed reading through
these magazines and have learned
much about Thunderbird alumni and
programs.
The top priority for the alumni rela­tions
office is the improvement of the
alumni records system. There are now
over 14,000 Thunderbirds around the
world and the task of keeping current
addresses on all of you requires much
attention. A new on-line computer
system is planned for installation in
the near future and will give us a basic
tool we need. Please bear with us dur­ing
our transition phase and by all
means, let us know when you move so
we can keep in touch.
I'm pleased to be with a school
which has such an important mission
and a bright future. The prospect of
sharing it with you and making the
Thunderbird alumni program the best
it can be is an exciting one. I look for­ward
to meeting you and hope you
will contact me if I can be of any ser­vice.

Focus on Africa
Self-determination and survival
(Editor's note: The following two articles
are based on interviews with Thunderbird
Campus students, faculty and an alumnus
of the school. We have chosen a series of
photographs to represent the whole of
Africa, but for factual continuity, we focus
the key articles only on sub-saharan
Africa. Our reason lies in that the Fall
1979 issue featured the Middle East, of
which the nations of North Africa share a
common cultural background.)
A region approaching
economic stability
by Dawn Wardle-Corley
Change in sub-saharan Africa is
best described as abrupt, dynamic
and uncertain. It involves not only
political systems, but also the basic
structures of economies. The region
still lags far behind by Western
industrial standards, but is ap­proaching
progress in a unique
manner. That the continent has
survived staggering economic and
social disruption is a compelling
show of vitality.
There is nothing more important to
the nations of Africa than getting on
their feet through self-determination
by exploitation of the rich mineral
and agricultural resources with
which they are blessed. Nigeria is a
leader in this regard.
Nigeria is potentially among the
wealthiest of the African nations. Its
mineral resources are abundant, with
petroleum earning 90 percent of the
foreign exchange. News sources indi­cate
that some day Nigeria may sur­pass
Saudi Arabia's position in the
world petroleum market.
However, concern has been ex­pressed
that Nigeria may be focusing
its industrial development on
petroleum production, rather than
diversifying its export base. Professor
Karl Magyar spent some time in
Nigeria researching a book on
2
marketing data for the Department of
Commerce. He also teaches African
Studies at the Thunderbird Campus.
Regarding Nigerian diversification,
Professor Magyar said, "Progress has
been made, but it won't be mechani­calor
quick. They are diversifying
already." But, Professor Magyar adds
that complete diversification will be
difficult to attain since development
tends to focus on that resource of
which there is plenty.
Rick Cunliffe, '75, regional director
for Western and Central Africa with
Harnischfeger noted, "Since the oil
boom, agricultural production has
dropped off." He added that Nigeria
is making some new attempts toward
industrialization.
Following the civil war that dev­astated
the na!ion, Nigeria is firmly
on the road to development, setting
an example for other African nations.
In the past 14 years, Nigerian output
has increased three-fold.
By comparison, it may be several
years before Uganda's economic
situation recovers. Once one of the
most productive nations in Africa,
Uganda is now among the poorest.
Although President Godfrey Binaisa
predicts that a good coffee and cotton
crop will guarantee economic re­covery
within two years, the sources
we spoke to disagreed. Said Cunliffe,
"Julius Nyerer's Tanzanian troops
have totally decimated the economy
and at the present time, there is chaos
and lawlessness ruling the country.
The Tanzanian troops have almost
totally slaughtered one of Uganda's
last remaining resources - their wild
game reserves. The potential for
tourists to see once beautiful game
parks is now destroyed, along with
the animals." Brooks Tigner, '80, was
general manager with Group Order
Association in Monrovia for two
years. He said that although
Uganda's agricultural potential is
great, given the present level of
damage to the infrastructure, such a
quick recovery seems unlikely. "Ugan-da
won't recover in two years time,"
said Professor Magyar. "Nigeria
recovered, but it had oil to do it with."
Gertrude Muloli, '80, a Kenyan
national, predicted that if the political
situation becomes stable the Ugandan
economy would begin to pick up in
five years.
Uganda was severely hurt by the
ousting of Indian business persons and
the expropriation of foreign interests
during the Idi Amin regime. Although
not as severely, some Black African
nations have ousted foreign interests
or nationalized foreign industry in
recent years.
Similarly, in a move toward local
ownership of industry, Nigeria
nationalized British oil holdings last
July in response to British activities in
Rhodesia-Zimbabwe. The possibility of
further nationalization in Africa has
created a hesitancy on the part of some
companies to take business risks there.
Muloli stated specific reasons for the
ouster of expatriate interests, "It was
an attempt to diversify who you trade
with - from whom you can get items
cheaper. The former colonial masters
wanted the African countries to
continue exporting raw materials or
primary goods. African nations could
get subsidized by the European
Economic Community for anything
but finished products." Rick Cunliffe
was skeptical, "In my opinion, there
has been more media coverage of
African states pushing out foreign
interest than there have been actual
incidences of this." He noted that most
African nations are capital poor and
must encourage foreign investment in
order to further capital formation.
One method that may help to al­leviate
nationalization is joint ven­tures.
Certain Western companies are
securing agreements with African
Women select gourds at the town market in

gourds come in all sizes and shapes and are

governments and firms to operate
within countries under the supervision
and guidance of Africans.
More and more Africans are
educating themselves in business and
technical fields both at home and
abroad. According to Professor
Magyar, "Africans are demanding
more know-how for themselves, rather
than buying it. They want advanced,
sophisticated technology. Africans
prefer to train their own managers."
Rick Cunliffe believes there is a definite
need for managers, but the need is not
being met. He said, "At present, most
African countries have a very thin
layer of good management at the top
and have no qualified middle manage-ment
whatsoever." Professor Magyar
agreed that there is still a need for
managers in Africa, "While there are
not many openings, there is less com­petition."
At one time, nearly all
expatriate and African managers were
educated in Europe. Now, many more
are turning to the United States for
business training. Brooks Tigner thinks
there will be a trend toward vocational
training. Currently Africa is lacking in
vocational skills.
Although more Africans are ac­quiring
business management know­how,
Gertrude Muloli brought
attention to a fundamental problem for
Black Africans who aspire to up­wardly-
mobile management positions.
3
She calls it the "window-dressing"
phenomenon. In some instances,
foreign companies operating in Africa
will hire local assistants, but
unfortunately, says Muloli, assistants
is all they will ever be. Muloli said
these individuals become token
managers with no chance for pro­motion
and limited opportunity to
utilize their management training.
Commented Rick Cunliffe, " As Africa
trains more and more managers and
those people become used to dealing
within the international economic and
political systems, there will be less
need for European executives in both
the business and the government side
of managing their countries."
But currently the "window-dress­ing"
phenomenon, among other
reasons, accounts for a considerable
"brain drain" from Africa. "Africans
4
like the bright lights of the city," said
Muloli. They see better opportunities
abroad and they go. This is a funda­mental
problem according to Brooks
Tigner, "Kenya, Rhodesia, Ghana,
Nigeria and Camaroon are being man­aged
economically by the local people
to some extent, but there's still a huge
demand for managers to fill all the
needs of industry."
Africa's vast mineral and agri­cultural
resources are the key to
economic development. "There is an
oval area in Africa which includes
Central and part of Southern Africa-
1200 miles long and 700 miles wide,
clustered with the most valuable
concentration of minerals in the
world," said Professor Richard
Mahoney, who spent much of his life
in Africa and has taught African
Studies at the Thunderbird Campus.
Although the oval area has been sub­ject
to mining for some time now, sup­plies
of gems, gold, chrome and
asbestos continue in abundance.
Cobalt, used in medical technology, is
in short supply worldwide. Zaire is the
world's largest cobalt supplier, with
Zambia a close second.
"The name of the game in Africa is
minerals," indicated Professor
Mahoney. The U.S., for example,
imports 90 percent of the manganese
and chrome used in jet engines and
nuclear generators, according to Pro­fessor
Mahoney. Gabon, Zaire,
Rhodesia-Zimbabwe and South Africa
are large scale suppliers of these
minerals. The only other major mines
for these products are in the Soviet
Union.
African agriculture is the second
priority sector. Food production has

declined since the end of colonialism,
said Rick Cunliffe. He offered,
"Importing food represents a large part
of their trade deficit. When Africans
are self-sufficient in this respect, they
can begin developing cash crops and
minerals." Gertrude Muloli stresses
that agricultural development must be
given the utmost importance. "Right
now we have a population explosion.
Until we can feed our people, nothing
should be more important." Muloli
was critical of Nigeria's move to
expand its imports, saying that the
nation should be able to feed its own
people first. Like Zaire, Nigeria was ag­riculturally
self-sufficient during colo­nial
rule but now, much food is
imported. "Declining food production
in parts of Africa is deadly serious,"
warns Brooks Tigner. More op­timistically,
Professor Mahoney pre-dicts
that with the help of nations like
Sudan and its enormous agricultural
potential, Africa can be self-sufficient
by the year 2000.
Many experts are certain that
Zambia could be among the richest
states in the developing world. Zambia
showed great self-determination in
surviving economic hardships during
the 1970's. Twice it was forced to re­route
its export and import operations.
Once following the 1973 Rhodesian
border closure and again after the
August 1975 cessation of operations on
the Mozambique, Benguela railway. In
addition, Zambia was hit hard by the
1975 recession~ But now, copper min­ing
alone earns 90 percent of the coun­try's
foreign exchange, followed close­ly
by increased production of sugar
and cement.
African growth capacity was made
evident by the participation of 11
African states at Impo-Expo '79, a
European Economic Community trade
fair held in London. The high quality
goods displayed were suitable for the
European market. Kenya alone sent
two dozen companies, with
childrenswear as their primary
product. Gabon displayed wood
handicrafts; Malawi, silk-screening
and fabric and Zambia featured bottles
and industrial clothing.
While the nations of sub-saharan
Africa strive for economic progress,
one prevailing political dilemma
persists. An immense disdain for the
racial policies of South Africa looms as
a threat to stability. Of all the African
nations, South Africa is farthest
advanced by Western industrial
standards, but many question its social
progress. The situation is potentially
explosive according to South African,
Manfred Kohrs, '80. He unhesitatingly
disapproves of apartheid and believes
stability in South Africa is tenuous.
"Ten years down the road, things are
probably going to become more
explosive in terms of incidents. There
is more pressure from the young Blacks
for change, but with gold at a high
price, South Africa has benefited. They
have valuable mineral resources and
will remain an important economic
force in the '80's, if political stability
lasts," said Kohrs. He suggests the U.S.
put pressure on the South African
government. However, he advises that
capital investments not be drawn from
that country as such withdrawal
would assuredly stagger the economy.
Human rights is an issue in Africa.
While the continent is not yet a potent
economic force on the world market,
some Black African nations have been
influential in the international
community's campaign for human
rights. A number of African nations
were instrumental in the creation of a
United Nations Human Rights
Commission and take an active part in
its decision-making.
To sum up, how should Western
companies approach business in
Africa? Professor Mahoney advises
that Western businesses become more
familiar with the problems of the local
environment before venturing in
Africa.
Our sources offered additional
advice to companies considering ven­tures
on the continent. The consensus
was for being diplomatically watchful.
As a concerned African, Kohrs said,
"The West should work closer with the
regional governments and become
more involved with the goals of
African economies, especially in the
area of planning." Professor Magyar is
certain that the nations deserve closer
attention, "The West should offer
expertise and assistance to Africans to
help them attain agricultural self-suffi­ciency.
Also, the West should work
to help develop African mineral re­sources.
This will be of vital interest to
the industrial free world economies."
Rick Cunliffe agreed, saying that the
West should help the developing
nations of Africa in any way possible.
He advised, "The opportunities are
there and those companies which are
fair, hard working and honest will es­tablish
a good reputation in Africa.
Hence, they will make good profits
there." Of utmost priority, according
to Professor Magyar, the West sho,!ld
work toward a peaceful solution to the
South African problem. Otherwise,
Professor Magyar believes the wor ld
will soon have to face South Africa as
an uncontrollable international crisis.
Africa remains just below the
horizon, waiting to arise into the
industrial world of the '80's. The Lima
Declaration, made by the United
Nations Industrial Organization,
stated that Africa would contribute
substantially to the world economy by
the year 2000. Our sources, generally
supportive of the declaration, are
confident that with the help and
concern of the West, Africa will soon
become a productive region of the
world. ~

Crossing the
Cultural barrier
by Dawn Wardle-Corley
Businessmen from Africa and the
United States can profitably work together
if they accept the differences between them
and work to create an atmosphere of non­judgemental
acceptance.
Excerpted from the book
"Managing Cultural Differences"
It took months to locate the right
person and even more time before the
contract was approved. But the tractor
company executives realized they were
right in choosing to send Jack
McKinley to Guinea. McKinley had
travelled world-wide and his track
record was admirable. The most valua­ble
thing about McKinley was his keen
sense and acceptance of cultural differ­ences.
Wherever he travelled he left
behind many friends and a positive
feeling about his company.

Knowledge of the fundamental
cultural differences between Africans
and Americans is the key to successful
business ventures in Africa. Caroline
Ufaeyen, '80, a Nigerian national, said,
" Americans should understand the
customs of the people before setting up
business in Africa, or else those indi­viduals
will suffer from a form of
culture shock. They should become
more involved with the people, instead
of staying apart."
One basic difference between
African and American culture is that
Africa is a high context culture and the
United States is a low context culture.
Americans rely primarily on the
spoken word, whereas Africans more
often utilize non-verbal communica­tion.
Professor Bob Moran, an instruc­tor
of cross-cultural communication at
the Thunderbird Campus calls Ameri­ca
"a bubble society," meaning that
most Americans develop a physical
and emotional barrier between them­selves
and the rest of the world. This is
not true of Africans. Gertrude Muloli
said that in Kenya, "You and I can
touch freely, we can hold hands, I can
smack your behind. All it means is that
we're close friends. We can even eat
out of the same plate. That means we
have a lot in common." Said Caroline
Ufaeyen, "Nigerians like to touch a lot,
even between people of the same sexes.
When Nigerians see each other after a
long separation, they will practically
collide in their enthusiasm."
There is nothing more essential to
understanding African culture than to
realize just how important trust and
friendship are. An African will hesitate
to trust anyone unless friendship is
initiated beforehand. According to a
book co-authored by Professor Moran,
titled "Managing Cultural Differences,"
"Trust and confidence are essential ele­ments
needed for successful enterprise
in Africa. It is very important to get to
know co-workers before getting down
to actual business activities. Friendship
comes first." For Americans who are
traditionally job-oriented first, and
relationship-oriented second, this is a
challenge.
Though friendship is an essential
ingredient, it is also necessary to un­derstand
other patterns of interaction.
There are myriad ways in which we
quietly communicate or mis-com­municate.
Offering assistance,
Gertrude Muloli warns, "Don't look at
people directly in the eye. It is believed

By Al Ilch
Nigeria is currently" ... the best
market for Americans," maintains Fre­derick
Berger, systems analyst and
director of Nigerian Operations for
Louis Berger International Incorporat­ed,
the second largest international
consulting firm in the world. Berger,
whose New Jersey based company has
been operating in heavily populated,
oil-rich Nigeria for the past 20 years,
admits that establishing credibility in
Nigeria is a major challenge for United
States business.
One stumbling block to doing busi­ness
in Nigeria is the high cost of
initiating a base of operations there.
The cost may be as high as $500,000 for
a business to place just one representa­tive
in that country. The average one
year rental of a house is 35,000 Naira
or about $63,000, said Berger. Other
large expenses include a car (an
especially high-priced item in Nigeria)
and a driver.
According to a recent business
profile on Nigeria prepared by
Barclay's Bank, the first step in forming
a company there is to apply for a per­mit
from the Ministry of Internal
Affairs. In addition, an application for
an allocation of an expatriate quota
must be made to the Federal Chief
Immigration Officer. The Nigerian
Government welcomes investments,
but the time that elapses between sub­mission
of an application and approval
may be lengthy. This is especially true
when applications for expatriate quota
allocation are involved. Delays of two
to six months are common. Similar
delays are often the case regarding ap­plication
for" Approved Status".
According to the Barclays' publication,
"Approved Status," granted through
the Nigerian Ministry of Finance, ".
is basically the Government's
acknowledgement of the amount of
foreign capital (money or goods)
brought into a country and their
approval in principle that such capital
so designated may be repatriated at
some future time. Also in the applica­tion
must be listed other forms of
remittance such as dividends, profits,
interest, royalties and technical aid
payments which the company may
wish to make."
The question of local participation
should be studied by foreign firms
wishing to set up operations in the
country. Thet:e are extensive regula­tions
regarding enterprises operating
in Nigeria and it is advised that those
regulations be studied beforehand.

Although negative attitudes exist in
the U.S. about doing business in
Nigeria, the potential for lucrative

outweighs the drawbacks. Nigeria's
desire for American business know­how

vast opportunities for U.S. business.
The initial investment and preparation

William Voris, president of the
Thunderbird Campus, Berger "Mr.
Thunderbird" Erickson, executive vice
president and Dawn Wardle-Corley,
editor of the Thunderbird Magazine
enjoyed a festive luncheon hosted by
Shonny Bria, wife of Thomas R. Bria,
Ph.D., director of alumni relations, at
the Bria residence last February. The
luncheon featured African dishes
excerpted from the Thunderbird
Wives' Club 1978 International Cookbook
which appear below.
Although the dishes are native to
different cultural areas of the African
continent, they compliment each other
well.
The Dabo Kolo and Hot Pepper
Seasoning was set out before lunch and
is recommended as an excellent
appetite stimulant.
As the group sat down to a
beautifully decorated table, Shonny
Bria served each person a half papaya
on a bed of lettuce and stuffed with
cold crabmeat. The salad was accom­panied
by a sweet ginger sauce.
Although the recipe does not appear
below, the dish is both simple to make
and attractive in appearance. The food
is native to the Ivory Coast.
With lunch, serving palm wine is
advised if you are able to find it. If not,
a dry red wine will do.
For a welcome dietary change, Shon­ny
Bria chose to stuff the cabbage with
lamb instead of beef. She also advised
that a few tablespoons of honey be
added to the stew to assure a smooth
flavor. Both Voris and Erickson hearti­ly
approved of the cabbage rolls.
Mint tea was served with dessert.
If you would like to enjoy these and
many more international foods, just
send a check payable to the Thunder­bird
Wives' Club for the amount of
$6.50. The checks may be sent c/o the
Alumni Relations Office. We hope you
will also delight in these savory dishes.

1 teaspoon whole fenugreek
1/2 cup dried shallots
3 ounces long red dried chiles
3 to 6 small, dried hot chile peppers
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric
2 teaspoons salt
In a small dry frying pan, combine
cumin, clover, cardamom pods, black
pepper, allspice and fenugreek. Cook
over medium-low heat, stirring, until
lightly toasted, about one minute.
Place in a blender and add shallots or
instant minced onion. Whirl until fine­ly
ground, then turn into a bowl.
Meanwhile, pull off and discard
stems and seeds (if desired) from 3
ounces long red dried chiles (also
called Anaheim or New Mexico chiles)
and hot chile peppers. Break up pods
and whirl in blender until finely
ground to make about 1/2 cup. Or in­stead
of chiles, add 1/3 cup paprika and
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne to the ground
spices.
Combine the seasonings, adding
ginger, tumeric, salt. Cover tightly.
Groundnut Stew: Ghana
3 pounds chicken legs and thighs
4 teaspoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons peanut oil or salad oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 small tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3 to 4 ounces small cooked shrimp
(optional)
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 can (6 ounce) tomato paste
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cups water
1 cup cream-style peanut butter,
beaten with 1/2 cup cold water
1/2 pound okra, or one package (10
ounce) frozen okra
1 medium green or red bell pepper,
seeded and sliced
salt and pepper
4 hard boiled eggs, quartered
Condiment: Hot Cooked Rice
Rub chicken with ground ginger.
Heat oil in a 6 quart kettle over
medium heat; add chicken and brown
well on all sides. Set chicken aside. Add
onion to oil, cook until transparent,
then add tomatoes, tomato paste, gar­lic,
crushed red pepper and water;
bring to a boil. Add chicken, reduce
heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes
longer; stir occasionally. Skim fat;
season to taste with salt and pepper,
then transfer to a serving dish and gar­nish
with quartered eggs. Serve with
hot cooked rice. Serves 6 to 8.
South African Cabbage Rolls:
South Africa
1 large head cabbage about 2 1/2 pounds
3 tablespoons salad oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons each; curry powder and
coarsely chopped Major Grey's
chutney
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon each; salt and ground cor­iander
V2 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds lean ground lamb or beef
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 can (14 ounce) regular-strength beef
broth
1 to 2 cinnamon sticks
3 tablespoons flour blended with
1/4 cup water
Wrap the unwashed cored cabbage
in foil and freeze up to a month ahead.
(Freezing a raw cabbage is not usually
recommended, however, freezing
makes the leaves easy to roll around
the filling, eliminating the task of
blanching the leaves. There is no differ­ence
in texture or flavor after freezing.)
To thaw, unwrap and place in a bowl
of lukewarm water for about one hour.
To separate leaves, hold cabbage under
warm running water and gently peel
off one leaf at a time; you'll need 12 to
14 large leaves. Trim off thick stem end
of each leaf for easier rolling.
. In a small frying pan, heat oil over
medium heat; -add the onion and curry
powder and cook, stirring, until onion
is limp. In a bowl, combine chutney,
vinegar, salt, coriander, pepper, lamb,
crumbs and egg; mix in onion mixture.
Use about 1/2 cup of meat mixture for
the large leaves, a little less for the
smaller ones. Place meat near the base
of each leaf and roll leaf to enclose,
tucking ends under. Place rolls, seam
side down, in a 9 by 13 inch baking
dish or a 3 quart shallow casserole
dish. Cover and chill if made ahead.
Pour broth over cabbage rolls; add
cinnamon sticks. Cover and bake in a
350 degree oven for one hour and 45
minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer cab­bage
rolls to a platter; keep warm.
Skim and discard fat from broth; pour
broth into a pan and stir in the flour
mixture. Cook, stirring, until sauce
boils and thickens. Pass sauce at table
to spoon over rice. Serves 6 to 8.
Condiments: Choose from chutney,
chopped bananas, apples or peanuts,
sliced green onion and shredded
coconut.
Arabian Donuts: Libya
(syrup-covered scones)
3 cups flour
1 cube yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
water
2 inches cooking oil in heavy pan
Syrup:
3 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 to 4 drops lemon juice
Mix flour, yeast, salt, sugar and
water and blend, adding water until
mixture is like pancake batter. Set aside
in warm place, cover with towel for 4
hours until mixture doubles in size.
Then ladle out about one teaspoon of
mixture and drop into hot oil for about
2 to 3 minutes until donut has cooked
and is golden. Drop into cooled syrup.

Seminars held
during Winterim
Three special programs were offered
at Thunderbird during the Winterim .
session last January 3 through 2l.
The programs, which focused on
international insurance, agribusiness
and international banking, departed
from traditional class session format in
that executives and experts from these
fields served as guest lecturers.
The international insurance pro­gram
was new to the curriculum. The
program introduced the subjects of
corporate risk management and
explored major property and liability
insurance.
Representatives from the Insurance
Company of North America (INA),
Johnson & Higgins, Aetna Life &
Casualty, the Insurance Institute of .
America, Kaiser Cement, B.F. Goodnch
and Greyhound Corporation lectured
during the conference.
The international insurance pro­gram
was funded, in part, by INA and
by Professor Bryan Heathcotte, who
teaches finance at American Graduate
School.
The agribusiness program was par­tially
funded by Continental Grain
Company and featured speakers from
that company, the American Cattle­man's
Association, Armour-Dial, the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange and
Pillsbury. Agricultural economists par­ticipated
from the Universities of
Arizona, Idaho and Illinois.
Dr. George Wattles, professor of
world business at American Graduate
School, coordinated the conference.
Lecturers speaking at the interna­tional
banking conference were: Chase
Manhattan, Chemical Bank, Citibank,
Continental Illinois, Dresdner, Harris,
Manufacturers Hanover, Mellon,
United California, Export/Import Bank
and the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco.
The international banking seminar
was directed by Dr. James Mills, pro­fessor
of economics at Thunderbird.
Barton Kyle Yount
honor given
Barbara Ann Bell, '79, was presented
with the Barton Kyle Yount Award at
American Graduate School of Interna­tional
Management's 75th commence­ment
exercises Friday, December 14,
1979.
The Barton Kyle Yount Award is the
school's highest honor and is pre­sented
at each commencement to the
student who would stand for the best
in American life.
Begun in 1951, the Barton Kyle
Yount Award is bestowed on that
member of each graduating class who
best epitomizes the late General's ideal
by scholastic and personal achieve­ment.
Bell attended Albion College in
Albion, Michigan and received her
Bachelor of Science degree with high­est
honors in Social Studies and Child
Development from Michigan State
University in 1976. She was selected as
one of 25 Outstanding Seniors at
Michigan State University and was
elected to Phi Kappa Phi, a scholastic
national honorary fraternity.
While at American Graduate School,
Bell served on the Alumni Advisory
Committee, the student advisory com­mittee
to the school's Board of
Trustees, the Spanish Club, the
Marketing Club and was chairperson
of the Placement Committee.
Panelists sponsored by American Manage1'l'!ent
Associations address the audience at Amerzcan
Graduate School.
Management group
sponsors panel discussion
Thunderbird students and
corporation managers who were
sponsored by American ~~nage~ent
Associations (AMA) partICIpated m a
"Research and Development" panel
discussion at American Graduate
School of International Management
(AGSIM) on January 31 .
The AMA panel members, all
experts in the field of research and
development, answered questions
posed by both the students and the
audience following a dinner and
cocktail party hosted by AGSIM.
Answering numerous questions
regarding research and development,
panel members indicated that often
companies are forced to do the re­search
and development within
foreign countries because manr, of .
those countries are fearful of abram
drain."
The language barrier was cited as
one of the main obstacles to fruitful
research and development.
Large organizations are generally
more hesitant to be innovative in
research and development because of
the intangibles involved, said panel
members.
David Secunda, vice president of
AMA, chaired the discussion.
Another panel, sponsored by the
AMA and AGSIM, is scheduled to be
held at Thunderbird on March 20. The
focus of that discussion will be
international business.

Unique scholarship offered
American Graduate School can now
boast of one of the most unique
scholarships ever awarded at a college
campus - the Pub Scholarship.
Approved by President William
Voris in January, an initial donation of
$5,500 was made by the Pub to the
Scholarship Fund.
Each Pub Scholarship awarded will
total $500. The recipient of the scholar­ship
may not be an incoming student,
must be in good academic standing
and must have financial need. Each re­cipient
will be required to donate five
hours of service per week to the Thun­derbird
Campus.
Fellow T -Birds
killed in Houston
It came as a profound shock to
myself and many other recent gradu­ates
that one of our fellow graduates
and his wife were killed in Houston,
Texas.
In my recent travels around the
country for International Harvester I
have been fortunate to be able to call
on Thunderbirds in each city I've
visited. Mary and Saad Jallad, '79, were
among the many I saw in Houston and
their warm hospitality, energetic
approach to life and obvious potential
for success are still fresh in my mind.
We all remember Mary from her
days in the ASLC office and of course,
Saad, from his multifaceted involve­ment
with American Graduate School
of International Management, its
faculty, students and community. He
was the promoter of the Thunderfund,
to which many of us pledged our
future earnings and through which we
planned to augment the facilities and
prestige of our school.
I am writing this note in memory of
Mary and Saad Jallad, in hopes that
each of us will take a moment to pray
for them. In the end we are all mortal,
it being only a matter of time. Let us
make the most of each day, remember­ing
that indeed the most important
thing in life is people.
The Jallads were lifters, continually
striving to raise themselves and those
around them to a better life. They set a
fine example as international citizens
and will be remembered as such by all
who knew them.

Corporations donate to
the Thunderbird Fund
Three major corporations have
donated unrestricted funds to Ameri­can
Graduate School of International
Management's Thunderbird Fund.
An annual supporter of Thunder­bird
since 1946, Chase Manhattan
Bank has contributed $5,000 this year.
The Nordson Foundation of
Amherst, Ohio has given Thunderbird
a support grant of $5,000. Founded in
1952 and funded by the late Mrs.
Walter C. Nord and the Nordson Cor­poration,
the Foundation's emphasis is
on giving in the areas of secondary and
higher education, social agencies, men­tal
health and the arts.
The school has received $650 in
Kodak employee/alumni grants
through Eastman Company's 1979 Ed­ucational
Aid Program. This year, the
Kodak employee/alumni grant to
Thunderbird was made on behalf of
William L. Roberts, '70, who is em­ployed
in Kodak's International Photo­graphic
Department.
Fall Thunderfund
exceeds pledge goal
The Fall '79 semester Thunderfund
drive exceeded its goal by $7,000 as
final statistics indicated that pledges by
graduating students reached an
impressive $40,000.
The Thunderfund was originally
scheduled to end on Friday, November
30, but was extended to allow the
pledges of graduating students who
were interviewing off campus to be
considered in the final statistics.
Recognizing that Thunderbirds will
need time to become established after
graduation, the Thunderfund effort
was designed to allow up to two years
to begin honoring a pledge and from
three to five years to complete the com­mitment.
Many of the graduates are expected
to go to work for companies with
matching gift programs, whereby the
employer matches the contributions
dollar for dollar and sometimes two or
three for one. This will greatly increase
the actual amount returned from what
is initially expected.
Hawaii
About 40 alumni and Thunderbird
Campus representatives attended an
alumni gathering at the Makalapa
CINPAC Officer's Club in Hawaii in
January.
Jean and John James Arthur,
registrar and college relations officer,
Rose and Charles Mannel, director of
career placement and Dr. Robert G.
Horn, director of development and
public affairs attended the party.
Arthur and Mannel were in Hawaii
to attend the 30th annual conference of
the Western College Placement Associ­ation.
Horn was on a business trip en
route to Japan and the Peoples Repub­lic
of China.
Arrangements for the party were
made by Harry A. Fanning, '59, with
the assistance of William Butler, '52,
Fred M. Smoot, '66, and Ron R.
Pfaffiin, '73.
Said Arthur, "It was a delightful ex­perience
for the school visitors and
they wish to express their gratitude to
everyone."
Panama
Three T -Birds are among a group of
American businessmen who recently
formed a trade group to further foreign
investments in Panama.
The group, under the name Ameri­can
Chamber of Commerce and Indus­try
of Panama, was founded by
William H. Cunningham, '58, and
Lewis Mavaglia, '6l.
Operating with a 12-member board
of directors, the group plans to further
the export of Panamanian products,
particularly to the Central American
region, to promote trade between the
United States and Panama and to re­present
its members before local au­thorities
and kindred groups.
Robert Pesquiera, '60, is a member of
the American Chamber of Commerce
board of directors.
Spain
Spain Thunderbirds enjoyed the
delicious food and relaxing
atmosphere of Alf Johnsen's, '57,
popular Vihara Restaurant last Decem­ber.
The enthusiastic holiday occasion
was attended by 20 alumni and Ginny
Krivis, 'BO, who is a student at Thun­derbird.
Krivis quickly went to work on a
post-holiday reunion, which was held
in January. The reunion featured a
social exchange between the Spain T­Birds
and their local equivalent - the
Escuela de Organizacion Industrial.
The party was an evening to be
remembered, attended by 19 Thunder­birds
and 12 EOI graduates. Two cur­rent
students from Thunderbird also
attended the get-together.
The January dinner and cocktail par­ty
was again held at the Vihara Restau­rant

Visitor lectures on global
development
"National development should serve
basic human needs rather than focus­ing
on increasing industrialization,"
according to Dr. Chadwick Alger, pro­fessor
of political science and public
policy at Ohio State University.
In addition to his position at OSU,
Alger is the author of several books
and monographs dealing with interna­tional
politics, the United Nations and
United States foreign affairs. He has
served on the editorial board of Instant
Research on Peace and Violence and is
a member of the board of directors of
the World Without War Council and
the All-World City Inc.
Speaking on "Peace, Freedom and
Development in the Global Context" at
the Thunderbird Campus last Febru­ary,
Alger noted that "the admission of
16 former African colonies to the U.N.
in 1960 was the end of the traditional
colonial relationship there." He added
that many officials have perceived U.N.
participation in the peaceful transition
of power as one of that organization's
greatest achievements.
Like peace, development has under­gone
evolution in the past two decades,
according to Alger. The trend has been
toward economic aid, but Alger noted
that this type of aid has widened the
economic gap between the Third
World and developed nations. "The
poor nations stay poor because of the
ways they are tied to the rich coun­tries,"
said Alger, "international eco­nomic
inequity prevents change."
The Thunderbird Speaker's Commit­tee
arranged Alger's visit to campus.

"Foreign diplomats should have knowledge
of ?ne or two of the main foreign languages, /I
saId former French Ambassador Robert Luc.
Photo by Enrique Me/ian, '80.
Former ambassador
critiques U.S. foreign
policy
Former French Ambassador Robert
Luc spoke to students and faculty on
November 12, 1979, criticizing the
United States foreign policy system.
Having spent 38 years in the French
Foreign Service, Luc is knowledgeable
about foreign affairs. He criticized U.S.
bureaucracy for creating problems in
U.s. foreign policy decisions. "A major
concern would be to strengthen the
authority of diplomats," Luc told
about 200'people.
He noted that the extensive role of
the U.s. Congress in determining
foreign policy was disturbing, "It's
bound to put the diplomat in a weaker
position in his country."
Luc suspects that former Secretary of
S~ate Henry Kissinger's "lone ranger"
dIplomacy was a result of a distrust of
the State Department. But, Luc also
warned against diplomats" assuming
all the responsibility," as Kissinger did,
Luc noted that Kissinger's "lone
ranger" diplomacy was a scandalous
waste of money and skill. "Kissinger
admitted a major mistake was not
using the skill of the State Department,
but he found out too late," added Luc.
Another problem with the U.S.
foreign policy system is that diplomats
are usually already independently
wealthy and have little or no foreign
training, indicated Luc.
He noted, "Foreign diplomats
should have knowledge of one or two
of the main foreign languages." But
Luc indicated that the quality of career
diplomats, especially the younger ones,
is increasing.
Luc also spoke of the role of the US.
in Africa, saying it was ideal right now.
He stressed the main concern for the
U.S. should be a genuine wish for the
goodwill of Africa and added that the
Soviet Union is "losing some of the
benefits of its strength. I don't believe
they are winning at the present."
Former French President Charles
DeGaulle was cited by Luc as a model
for an efficient foreign policy maker.
The Thunderbird Campus Speaker's
Committee was responsible for making
Luc's visit here possible.
Diplomat discusses
dollar problems
The United States is leading in infla­tion
and the present problem must be
tackled, according to a recent campus
speaker.
Ambassador David Kennedy spoke
to Thunderbird Campus students and
faculty last November 15.
Addressing about 300 people, Ken­nedy
discussed the U.S. dollar and
world trade.
He spoke in favor of a substitute
account that would soak up excess dol­lars
and replace them with other paper
currencies. "The dollar would be
frozen there, and there would be less
pressure on it," he said.
To insure economic stability, Ken­nedy
encouraged "the discipline of our
administration in getting our house in
order and obtaining fiscal security."
Said Kennedy, "It's not easy to
change our minds once inflation has
started."
Kennedy is turrently a member of
the U.S. Treasury Advisory Committee
on Reform of the International Mone­tary
System.
Prof indicates Mexico's
export future good
The evolution of export goods in
Mexico, which has taken place in the
last 15 years indicates many changes,
observed J. Rubin Velasco at the Thun­derbird
Campus last November.
Velasco, chairman and professor in
the Geology department at the Univer­sity
of Sonora in Mexico, was address­ing
American Graduate School stu­dents
and faculty about modern Mex­ico's
export profile.
"Mexico is turning into an export
country of finished products," said
Velasco. "Employment for the Mexican
people and a balanced economy is the
policy of the Mexican government."
Not only does Mexico have a tre­mendous
future in oil production,
according to Velasco, mineral produc­tion
in that country is 30 to 50 years
behind. He believes Mexico's mines
have encouraging potential.
Energy in transition
says speaker
Is the energy transition a crisis or an
opportunity? - asked Bob Evans,
while speaking at American Graduate
School.
Evans, a former foreign correspon­dent
for CBS News in the Middle East,
was addressing students on "Oil is
Power" on January 30, 1980.
The energy crisis is not a unique
situation, said Evans. Twice before the
world had to readjust its sources of
energy. The first change came at the
close of the 18th century, when coal
burning replaced wood burning as a
source of energy. The second energy
revolution came about with the onset
of the 20th century, when industry re­placed
coal with oil.
"We are now on the verge of a new
revolution," from oil to new sources,
according to Evans.
Evans is the president of Televans
Productions and is a film producer. His
appearance here was made possible by
the Speaker's Committee.
Crossing continued from page 6
to be very rude. People will look at
your mouth to determine wh~ther
you're telling the truth." She adds that
an individual should never gesticulate
with his finger to ask someone to
approach him, "You call people you
despise like that."
Professor Karl Magyar also called
attention to some essential rules for
conduct in Africa, "Dress well, but be
conservative. Always use your title."
Occasionally an African will invite an
American businessman to his home.
When this occurs, it is appropriate to
bring a small gift reflecting the guest's
culture, but Professor Magyar adds,
"Stay away from liquor or cigarettes.
Remember, you may be dealing with a
Muslim. Don't discuss any personal
matters and don't offer any standard
Western forms of entertainment."
"Managing Cultural Differences" sug­gests
that business not be discussed
when a businessman is invited to a
meal at an African's home. In addition,
caution should be exercised regarding
political discussions. Professor Magyar
advises avoiding discussion of politics
at all costs, "An African might take
great offense."
The way in which Americans
approach time when doing business in
Africa may have a critical effect on suc­cess
or failure. Americans are generally
task oriented and inflexible when it
comes to being on time; they regard
lateness with suspicion and distrust.
Just the opposite is true for Africans.
"People come first, then time. . .
Since trust is very essential, individuals
who follow inflexible time schedules
will have little success," as written in
"Managing Cultural Differences. "Pro­fessor
Magyar suggests that "an Amer­ican
always be on time, even if the
African is not." An African may be
several hours late for meetings and
business negotiations could develop
slowly, but a patient American will be
pleased with his long run success.
One barrier to success in Africa is
bribery. African bribery is rooted in
traditional family obligation. Once an
African family member becomes finan­cially
successful he is obligated to pro­vide
funds for his family, which are
often far in excess of his income. How­ever,
the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act, signed into U.S. law in 1977 makes
overseas bribery illegal. Said Professor
Magyar, "Bribery is a question that has
to be dealt with. American businesses
have a tremendous problem with this."
It remains up to the American compa­ny
to determine how to deal with
African bribery customs.
In establishing business relation­ships
in Africa, it is necessary to be
aware that Africans believe age to be
an asset. Africans are of the opinion
that people attain wisdom with age
and consequently, respect the opinions
of the elderly. Accordingly, it may be a
hindrance to an American who is con­siderably
younger than the African
with whom he is doing business. How­ever,
"Managing Cultural Differences"
noted that". . . if sincerity, respect
and empathy are shown, the American
will receive a positive response." In
addition, it is advised that the younger
individual show restraint in opposing
the opinions of the older person.
Africans and Americans will find
mutual satisfaction in relationships
based on friendship, trust and a genu­ine
understanding of the communica­tion
process. Gertrude Muloli said, "1
think the Americans are slowing down
and beginning to understand the
Africans. They have come not to
impose their culture, but instead, to
conduct successful business ventures."

The African continent has over 450
million people speaking more than
1,000 differ~nt languages. Its nations,
like so many in the world including the
United States of America, have
emerged from European colonialism to
varying degrees of indepe~dence. The
allegiances of the countries of Africa
are as diverse as their landscapes,
languages and beliefs. About the only
thing they all agree on is their distaste
for the racial policies of the Union of
South Africa. Communism has made
its usual inroads into the political
fabric of many countries, but is up
against its old implacable enemy,
Islam, and, of course, the U. S. and
Western Europe. At the moment, the
continent is seething and the economic
development of most African nations
must wait until stability arrives. In
most cases, it is years away.
For these reasons, the impact of
Thunderbirds has been relatively small
in comparison with Latin America,
Europe and the Middle and Far East.
As could be expected, most graduates
are in South Africa and Liberia. In
general, Americans wor king there are
working for such well-known compa­nies
as Caterpillar, Firestone, Goodyear
and Colgate Palmolive. What's hap­pening
now which is of great impor­tance
to Thunderbird, is that the school
is beginning to obtain a very represen­tative
number of African students hop­ing
to learn our technology and return
to their homelands. In the past year we
have had students from Tanzania,
Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon and the
Sudan.
This is a good beginning, but the
school wants to be more helpful to
these developing nations. You alumni
who are in Africa can be of great help
to us and, of course, to the Africans
themselves by steering good students
our way.
William Voris
President
Alumni director's greetings
This issue of the Thunderbird Maga­zine
is the last in a series of issues that
have focused on various regions of the
world. I have enjoyed reading through
these magazines and have learned
much about Thunderbird alumni and
programs.
The top priority for the alumni rela­tions
office is the improvement of the
alumni records system. There are now
over 14,000 Thunderbirds around the
world and the task of keeping current
addresses on all of you requires much
attention. A new on-line computer
system is planned for installation in
the near future and will give us a basic
tool we need. Please bear with us dur­ing
our transition phase and by all
means, let us know when you move so
we can keep in touch.
I'm pleased to be with a school
which has such an important mission
and a bright future. The prospect of
sharing it with you and making the
Thunderbird alumni program the best
it can be is an exciting one. I look for­ward
to meeting you and hope you
will contact me if I can be of any ser­vice.

Director of Alumni Relations
Focus on Africa
Self-determination and survival
(Editor's note: The following two articles
are based on interviews with Thunderbird
Campus students, faculty and an alumnus
of the school. We have chosen a series of
photographs to represent the whole of
Africa, but for factual continuity, we focus
the key articles only on sub-saharan
Africa. Our reason lies in that the Fall
1979 issue featured the Middle East, of
which the nations of North Africa share a
common cultural background.)
A region approaching
economic stability
by Dawn Wardle-Corley
Change in sub-saharan Africa is
best described as abrupt, dynamic
and uncertain. It involves not only
political systems, but also the basic
structures of economies. The region
still lags far behind by Western
industrial standards, but is ap­proaching
progress in a unique
manner. That the continent has
survived staggering economic and
social disruption is a compelling
show of vitality.
There is nothing more important to
the nations of Africa than getting on
their feet through self-determination
by exploitation of the rich mineral
and agricultural resources with
which they are blessed. Nigeria is a
leader in this regard.
Nigeria is potentially among the
wealthiest of the African nations. Its
mineral resources are abundant, with
petroleum earning 90 percent of the
foreign exchange. News sources indi­cate
that some day Nigeria may sur­pass
Saudi Arabia's position in the
world petroleum market.
However, concern has been ex­pressed
that Nigeria may be focusing
its industrial development on
petroleum production, rather than
diversifying its export base. Professor
Karl Magyar spent some time in
Nigeria researching a book on
2
marketing data for the Department of
Commerce. He also teaches African
Studies at the Thunderbird Campus.
Regarding Nigerian diversification,
Professor Magyar said, "Progress has
been made, but it won't be mechani­calor
quick. They are diversifying
already." But, Professor Magyar adds
that complete diversification will be
difficult to attain since development
tends to focus on that resource of
which there is plenty.
Rick Cunliffe, '75, regional director
for Western and Central Africa with
Harnischfeger noted, "Since the oil
boom, agricultural production has
dropped off." He added that Nigeria
is making some new attempts toward
industrialization.
Following the civil war that dev­astated
the na!ion, Nigeria is firmly
on the road to development, setting
an example for other African nations.
In the past 14 years, Nigerian output
has increased three-fold.
By comparison, it may be several
years before Uganda's economic
situation recovers. Once one of the
most productive nations in Africa,
Uganda is now among the poorest.
Although President Godfrey Binaisa
predicts that a good coffee and cotton
crop will guarantee economic re­covery
within two years, the sources
we spoke to disagreed. Said Cunliffe,
"Julius Nyerer's Tanzanian troops
have totally decimated the economy
and at the present time, there is chaos
and lawlessness ruling the country.
The Tanzanian troops have almost
totally slaughtered one of Uganda's
last remaining resources - their wild
game reserves. The potential for
tourists to see once beautiful game
parks is now destroyed, along with
the animals." Brooks Tigner, '80, was
general manager with Group Order
Association in Monrovia for two
years. He said that although
Uganda's agricultural potential is
great, given the present level of
damage to the infrastructure, such a
quick recovery seems unlikely. "Ugan-da
won't recover in two years time,"
said Professor Magyar. "Nigeria
recovered, but it had oil to do it with."
Gertrude Muloli, '80, a Kenyan
national, predicted that if the political
situation becomes stable the Ugandan
economy would begin to pick up in
five years.
Uganda was severely hurt by the
ousting of Indian business persons and
the expropriation of foreign interests
during the Idi Amin regime. Although
not as severely, some Black African
nations have ousted foreign interests
or nationalized foreign industry in
recent years.
Similarly, in a move toward local
ownership of industry, Nigeria
nationalized British oil holdings last
July in response to British activities in
Rhodesia-Zimbabwe. The possibility of
further nationalization in Africa has
created a hesitancy on the part of some
companies to take business risks there.
Muloli stated specific reasons for the
ouster of expatriate interests, "It was
an attempt to diversify who you trade
with - from whom you can get items
cheaper. The former colonial masters
wanted the African countries to
continue exporting raw materials or
primary goods. African nations could
get subsidized by the European
Economic Community for anything
but finished products." Rick Cunliffe
was skeptical, "In my opinion, there
has been more media coverage of
African states pushing out foreign
interest than there have been actual
incidences of this." He noted that most
African nations are capital poor and
must encourage foreign investment in
order to further capital formation.
One method that may help to al­leviate
nationalization is joint ven­tures.
Certain Western companies are
securing agreements with African
Women select gourds at the town market in

governments and firms to operate
within countries under the supervision
and guidance of Africans.
More and more Africans are
educating themselves in business and
technical fields both at home and
abroad. According to Professor
Magyar, "Africans are demanding
more know-how for themselves, rather
than buying it. They want advanced,
sophisticated technology. Africans
prefer to train their own managers."
Rick Cunliffe believes there is a definite
need for managers, but the need is not
being met. He said, "At present, most
African countries have a very thin
layer of good management at the top
and have no qualified middle manage-ment
whatsoever." Professor Magyar
agreed that there is still a need for
managers in Africa, "While there are
not many openings, there is less com­petition."
At one time, nearly all
expatriate and African managers were
educated in Europe. Now, many more
are turning to the United States for
business training. Brooks Tigner thinks
there will be a trend toward vocational
training. Currently Africa is lacking in
vocational skills.
Although more Africans are ac­quiring
business management know­how,
Gertrude Muloli brought
attention to a fundamental problem for
Black Africans who aspire to up­wardly-
mobile management positions.
3
She calls it the "window-dressing"
phenomenon. In some instances,
foreign companies operating in Africa
will hire local assistants, but
unfortunately, says Muloli, assistants
is all they will ever be. Muloli said
these individuals become token
managers with no chance for pro­motion
and limited opportunity to
utilize their management training.
Commented Rick Cunliffe, " As Africa
trains more and more managers and
those people become used to dealing
within the international economic and
political systems, there will be less
need for European executives in both
the business and the government side
of managing their countries."
But currently the "window-dress­ing"
phenomenon, among other
reasons, accounts for a considerable
"brain drain" from Africa. "Africans
4
like the bright lights of the city," said
Muloli. They see better opportunities
abroad and they go. This is a funda­mental
problem according to Brooks
Tigner, "Kenya, Rhodesia, Ghana,
Nigeria and Camaroon are being man­aged
economically by the local people
to some extent, but there's still a huge
demand for managers to fill all the
needs of industry."
Africa's vast mineral and agri­cultural
resources are the key to
economic development. "There is an
oval area in Africa which includes
Central and part of Southern Africa-
1200 miles long and 700 miles wide,
clustered with the most valuable
concentration of minerals in the
world," said Professor Richard
Mahoney, who spent much of his life
in Africa and has taught African
Studies at the Thunderbird Campus.
Although the oval area has been sub­ject
to mining for some time now, sup­plies
of gems, gold, chrome and
asbestos continue in abundance.
Cobalt, used in medical technology, is
in short supply worldwide. Zaire is the
world's largest cobalt supplier, with
Zambia a close second.
"The name of the game in Africa is
minerals," indicated Professor
Mahoney. The U.S., for example,
imports 90 percent of the manganese
and chrome used in jet engines and
nuclear generators, according to Pro­fessor
Mahoney. Gabon, Zaire,
Rhodesia-Zimbabwe and South Africa
are large scale suppliers of these
minerals. The only other major mines
for these products are in the Soviet
Union.
African agriculture is the second
priority sector. Food production has

declined since the end of colonialism,
said Rick Cunliffe. He offered,
"Importing food represents a large part
of their trade deficit. When Africans
are self-sufficient in this respect, they
can begin developing cash crops and
minerals." Gertrude Muloli stresses
that agricultural development must be
given the utmost importance. "Right
now we have a population explosion.
Until we can feed our people, nothing
should be more important." Muloli
was critical of Nigeria's move to
expand its imports, saying that the
nation should be able to feed its own
people first. Like Zaire, Nigeria was ag­riculturally
self-sufficient during colo­nial
rule but now, much food is
imported. "Declining food production
in parts of Africa is deadly serious,"
warns Brooks Tigner. More op­timistically,
Professor Mahoney pre-dicts
that with the help of nations like
Sudan and its enormous agricultural
potential, Africa can be self-sufficient
by the year 2000.
Many experts are certain that
Zambia could be among the richest
states in the developing world. Zambia
showed great self-determination in
surviving economic hardships during
the 1970's. Twice it was forced to re­route
its export and import operations.
Once following the 1973 Rhodesian
border closure and again after the
August 1975 cessation of operations on
the Mozambique, Benguela railway. In
addition, Zambia was hit hard by the
1975 recession~ But now, copper min­ing
alone earns 90 percent of the coun­try's
foreign exchange, followed close­ly
by increased production of sugar
and cement.
African growth capacity was made
evident by the participation of 11
African states at Impo-Expo '79, a
European Economic Community trade
fair held in London. The high quality
goods displayed were suitable for the
European market. Kenya alone sent
two dozen companies, with
childrenswear as their primary
product. Gabon displayed wood
handicrafts; Malawi, silk-screening
and fabric and Zambia featured bottles
and industrial clothing.
While the nations of sub-saharan
Africa strive for economic progress,
one prevailing political dilemma
persists. An immense disdain for the
racial policies of South Africa looms as
a threat to stability. Of all the African
nations, South Africa is farthest
advanced by Western industrial
standards, but many question its social
progress. The situation is potentially
explosive according to South African,
Manfred Kohrs, '80. He unhesitatingly
disapproves of apartheid and believes
stability in South Africa is tenuous.
"Ten years down the road, things are
probably going to become more
explosive in terms of incidents. There
is more pressure from the young Blacks
for change, but with gold at a high
price, South Africa has benefited. They
have valuable mineral resources and
will remain an important economic
force in the '80's, if political stability
lasts," said Kohrs. He suggests the U.S.
put pressure on the South African
government. However, he advises that
capital investments not be drawn from
that country as such withdrawal
would assuredly stagger the economy.
Human rights is an issue in Africa.
While the continent is not yet a potent
economic force on the world market,
some Black African nations have been
influential in the international
community's campaign for human
rights. A number of African nations
were instrumental in the creation of a
United Nations Human Rights
Commission and take an active part in
its decision-making.
To sum up, how should Western
companies approach business in
Africa? Professor Mahoney advises
that Western businesses become more
familiar with the problems of the local
environment before venturing in
Africa.
Our sources offered additional
advice to companies considering ven­tures
on the continent. The consensus
was for being diplomatically watchful.
As a concerned African, Kohrs said,
"The West should work closer with the
regional governments and become
more involved with the goals of
African economies, especially in the
area of planning." Professor Magyar is
certain that the nations deserve closer
attention, "The West should offer
expertise and assistance to Africans to
help them attain agricultural self-suffi­ciency.
Also, the West should work
to help develop African mineral re­sources.
This will be of vital interest to
the industrial free world economies."
Rick Cunliffe agreed, saying that the
West should help the developing
nations of Africa in any way possible.
He advised, "The opportunities are
there and those companies which are
fair, hard working and honest will es­tablish
a good reputation in Africa.
Hence, they will make good profits
there." Of utmost priority, according
to Professor Magyar, the West sho,!ld
work toward a peaceful solution to the
South African problem. Otherwise,
Professor Magyar believes the wor ld
will soon have to face South Africa as
an uncontrollable international crisis.
Africa remains just below the
horizon, waiting to arise into the
industrial world of the '80's. The Lima
Declaration, made by the United
Nations Industrial Organization,
stated that Africa would contribute
substantially to the world economy by
the year 2000. Our sources, generally
supportive of the declaration, are
confident that with the help and
concern of the West, Africa will soon
become a productive region of the
world. ~

Crossing the
Cultural barrier
by Dawn Wardle-Corley
Businessmen from Africa and the
United States can profitably work together
if they accept the differences between them
and work to create an atmosphere of non­judgemental
acceptance.
Excerpted from the book
"Managing Cultural Differences"
It took months to locate the right
person and even more time before the
contract was approved. But the tractor
company executives realized they were
right in choosing to send Jack
McKinley to Guinea. McKinley had
travelled world-wide and his track
record was admirable. The most valua­ble
thing about McKinley was his keen
sense and acceptance of cultural differ­ences.
Wherever he travelled he left
behind many friends and a positive
feeling about his company.

Knowledge of the fundamental
cultural differences between Africans
and Americans is the key to successful
business ventures in Africa. Caroline
Ufaeyen, '80, a Nigerian national, said,
" Americans should understand the
customs of the people before setting up
business in Africa, or else those indi­viduals
will suffer from a form of
culture shock. They should become
more involved with the people, instead
of staying apart."
One basic difference between
African and American culture is that
Africa is a high context culture and the
United States is a low context culture.
Americans rely primarily on the
spoken word, whereas Africans more
often utilize non-verbal communica­tion.
Professor Bob Moran, an instruc­tor
of cross-cultural communication at
the Thunderbird Campus calls Ameri­ca
"a bubble society," meaning that
most Americans develop a physical
and emotional barrier between them­selves
and the rest of the world. This is
not true of Africans. Gertrude Muloli
said that in Kenya, "You and I can
touch freely, we can hold hands, I can
smack your behind. All it means is that
we're close friends. We can even eat
out of the same plate. That means we
have a lot in common." Said Caroline
Ufaeyen, "Nigerians like to touch a lot,
even between people of the same sexes.
When Nigerians see each other after a
long separation, they will practically
collide in their enthusiasm."
There is nothing more essential to
understanding African culture than to
realize just how important trust and
friendship are. An African will hesitate
to trust anyone unless friendship is
initiated beforehand. According to a
book co-authored by Professor Moran,
titled "Managing Cultural Differences,"
"Trust and confidence are essential ele­ments
needed for successful enterprise
in Africa. It is very important to get to
know co-workers before getting down
to actual business activities. Friendship
comes first." For Americans who are
traditionally job-oriented first, and
relationship-oriented second, this is a
challenge.
Though friendship is an essential
ingredient, it is also necessary to un­derstand
other patterns of interaction.
There are myriad ways in which we
quietly communicate or mis-com­municate.
Offering assistance,
Gertrude Muloli warns, "Don't look at
people directly in the eye. It is believed

Correction
We wish to correct two errors
which appeared in the Winter '79/
'80 Thunderbird Magazine.
India is one of the largest impor­ters
of soybean oil, not soybean
meal. Also, "an ounce of gold at
$378 could buy 21 barrels of Saudi
Arabian light crude and that ounce
of gold can buy 57 bushels (not
vessels) of soybeans,"
Nigeria - opportunity outweighs the drawbacks
(Editor's note: American Graduate School

We believe the following article,
which was forwarded to us from the New
York office of the AMA is in keeping with
this issue's Africa theme)
By Al Ilch
Nigeria is currently" ... the best
market for Americans," maintains Fre­derick
Berger, systems analyst and
director of Nigerian Operations for
Louis Berger International Incorporat­ed,
the second largest international
consulting firm in the world. Berger,
whose New Jersey based company has
been operating in heavily populated,
oil-rich Nigeria for the past 20 years,
admits that establishing credibility in
Nigeria is a major challenge for United
States business.
One stumbling block to doing busi­ness
in Nigeria is the high cost of
initiating a base of operations there.
The cost may be as high as $500,000 for
a business to place just one representa­tive
in that country. The average one
year rental of a house is 35,000 Naira
or about $63,000, said Berger. Other
large expenses include a car (an
especially high-priced item in Nigeria)
and a driver.
According to a recent business
profile on Nigeria prepared by
Barclay's Bank, the first step in forming
a company there is to apply for a per­mit
from the Ministry of Internal
Affairs. In addition, an application for
an allocation of an expatriate quota
must be made to the Federal Chief
Immigration Officer. The Nigerian
Government welcomes investments,
but the time that elapses between sub­mission
of an application and approval
may be lengthy. This is especially true
when applications for expatriate quota
allocation are involved. Delays of two
to six months are common. Similar
delays are often the case regarding ap­plication
for" Approved Status".
According to the Barclays' publication,
"Approved Status," granted through
the Nigerian Ministry of Finance, ".
is basically the Government's
acknowledgement of the amount of
foreign capital (money or goods)
brought into a country and their
approval in principle that such capital
so designated may be repatriated at
some future time. Also in the applica­tion
must be listed other forms of
remittance such as dividends, profits,
interest, royalties and technical aid
payments which the company may
wish to make."
The question of local participation
should be studied by foreign firms
wishing to set up operations in the
country. Thet:e are extensive regula­tions
regarding enterprises operating
in Nigeria and it is advised that those
regulations be studied beforehand.

REGISTRATION CARD
In July 1980 in New York, Professor
Magyar and Berger will join other
international business experts as
course leaders and guest speakers dur­ing
two American Management Asso­ciation's
International seminars on
Nigeria. This distinguished group of
executives will guide the seminar par­ticipants
through the intricacies of
doing business in Nigeria.
Although negative attitudes exist in
the U.S. about doing business in
Nigeria, the potential for lucrative
markets for Americans in the country
outweighs the drawbacks. Nigeria's
desire for American business know­how
and machinery, namely farming
and manufacturing equipment, offers
vast opportunities for U.S. business.
The initial investment and preparation
required for assimilation into the
Nigerian culture should be well worth
the effort.

William Voris, president of the
Thunderbird Campus, Berger "Mr.
Thunderbird" Erickson, executive vice
president and Dawn Wardle-Corley,
editor of the Thunderbird Magazine
enjoyed a festive luncheon hosted by
Shonny Bria, wife of Thomas R. Bria,
Ph.D., director of alumni relations, at
the Bria residence last February. The
luncheon featured African dishes
excerpted from the Thunderbird
Wives' Club 1978 International Cookbook
which appear below.
Although the dishes are native to
different cultural areas of the African
continent, they compliment each other
well.
The Dabo Kolo and Hot Pepper
Seasoning was set out before lunch and
is recommended as an excellent
appetite stimulant.
As the group sat down to a
beautifully decorated table, Shonny
Bria served each person a half papaya
on a bed of lettuce and stuffed with
cold crabmeat. The salad was accom­panied
by a sweet ginger sauce.
Although the recipe does not appear
below, the dish is both simple to make
and attractive in appearance. The food
is native to the Ivory Coast.
With lunch, serving palm wine is
advised if you are able to find it. If not,
a dry red wine will do.
For a welcome dietary change, Shon­ny
Bria chose to stuff the cabbage with
lamb instead of beef. She also advised
that a few tablespoons of honey be
added to the stew to assure a smooth
flavor. Both Voris and Erickson hearti­ly
approved of the cabbage rolls.
Mint tea was served with dessert.
If you would like to enjoy these and
many more international foods, just
send a check payable to the Thunder­bird
Wives' Club for the amount of
$6.50. The checks may be sent c/o the
Alumni Relations Office. We hope you
will also delight in these savory dishes.

2 cups all purpose or whole wheat
flour
2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons hot pepper
seasoning (Berbere below)
1 tablespoon sugar
11/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup salad oil
2/3 cup water
Stir together flour, hot pepper
seasoning, sugar and salt. Add salad
oil, then stir in water, make sure it
forms a stiff dough. Turn out on an
unfloured board; knead until smooth,
about 5 minutes. Cover and let sit
about 30 minutes.
Berbere: Ethiopia
(hot pepper seasoning)
2 teaspoons cumin seed
4 whole cloves
6 cardamom pods
1/2 teaspoon whole black pepper
1/4 teaspoon whole allspice
1 teaspoon whole fenugreek
1/2 cup dried shallots
3 ounces long red dried chiles
3 to 6 small, dried hot chile peppers
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric
2 teaspoons salt
In a small dry frying pan, combine
cumin, clover, cardamom pods, black
pepper, allspice and fenugreek. Cook
over medium-low heat, stirring, until
lightly toasted, about one minute.
Place in a blender and add shallots or
instant minced onion. Whirl until fine­ly
ground, then turn into a bowl.
Meanwhile, pull off and discard
stems and seeds (if desired) from 3
ounces long red dried chiles (also
called Anaheim or New Mexico chiles)
and hot chile peppers. Break up pods
and whirl in blender until finely
ground to make about 1/2 cup. Or in­stead
of chiles, add 1/3 cup paprika and
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne to the ground
spices.
Combine the seasonings, adding
ginger, tumeric, salt. Cover tightly.
Groundnut Stew: Ghana
3 pounds chicken legs and thighs
4 teaspoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons peanut oil or salad oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 small tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3 to 4 ounces small cooked shrimp
(optional)
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 can (6 ounce) tomato paste
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cups water
1 cup cream-style peanut butter,
beaten with 1/2 cup cold water
1/2 pound okra, or one package (10
ounce) frozen okra
1 medium green or red bell pepper,
seeded and sliced
salt and pepper
4 hard boiled eggs, quartered
Condiment: Hot Cooked Rice
Rub chicken with ground ginger.
Heat oil in a 6 quart kettle over
medium heat; add chicken and brown
well on all sides. Set chicken aside. Add
onion to oil, cook until transparent,

crushed red pepper and water;
bring to a boil. Add chicken, reduce
heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes
longer; stir occasionally. Skim fat;
season to taste with salt and pepper,
then transfer to a serving dish and gar­nish
with quartered eggs. Serve with
hot cooked rice. Serves 6 to 8.
South African Cabbage Rolls:
South Africa
1 large head cabbage about 2 1/2 pounds
3 tablespoons salad oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons each; curry powder and
coarsely chopped Major Grey's
chutney
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon each; salt and ground cor­iander
V2 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds lean ground lamb or beef
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 can (14 ounce) regular-strength beef
broth
1 to 2 cinnamon sticks
3 tablespoons flour blended with
1/4 cup water
Wrap the unwashed cored cabbage
in foil and freeze up to a month ahead.
(Freezing a raw cabbage is not usually
recommended, however, freezing
makes the leaves easy to roll around
the filling, eliminating the task of
blanching the leaves. There is no differ­ence
in texture or flavor after freezing.)
To thaw, unwrap and place in a bowl
of lukewarm water for about one hour.
To separate leaves, hold cabbage under
warm running water and gently peel
off one leaf at a time; you'll need 12 to
14 large leaves. Trim off thick stem end
of each leaf for easier rolling.
. In a small frying pan, heat oil over
medium heat; -add the onion and curry
powder and cook, stirring, until onion
is limp. In a bowl, combine chutney,
vinegar, salt, coriander, pepper, lamb,
crumbs and egg; mix in onion mixture.
Use about 1/2 cup of meat mixture for
the large leaves, a little less for the
smaller ones. Place meat near the base
of each leaf and roll leaf to enclose,
tucking ends under. Place rolls, seam
side down, in a 9 by 13 inch baking
dish or a 3 quart shallow casserole
dish. Cover and chill if made ahead.
Pour broth over cabbage rolls; add
cinnamon sticks. Cover and bake in a
350 degree oven for one hour and 45
minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer cab­bage
rolls to a platter; keep warm.
Skim and discard fat from broth; pour
broth into a pan and stir in the flour
mixture. Cook, stirring, until sauce
boils and thickens. Pass sauce at table
to spoon over rice. Serves 6 to 8.
Condiments: Choose from chutney,
chopped bananas, apples or peanuts,
sliced green onion and shredded
coconut.
Arabian Donuts: Libya
(syrup-covered scones)
3 cups flour
1 cube yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
water
2 inches cooking oil in heavy pan
Syrup:
3 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 to 4 drops lemon juice
Mix flour, yeast, salt, sugar and
water and blend, adding water until
mixture is like pancake batter. Set aside
in warm place, cover with towel for 4
hours until mixture doubles in size.
Then ladle out about one teaspoon of
mixture and drop into hot oil for about
2 to 3 minutes until donut has cooked
and is golden. Drop into cooled syrup.

Seminars held
during Winterim
Three special programs were offered
at Thunderbird during the Winterim .
session last January 3 through 2l.
The programs, which focused on
international insurance, agribusiness
and international banking, departed
from traditional class session format in
that executives and experts from these
fields served as guest lecturers.
The international insurance pro­gram
was new to the curriculum. The
program introduced the subjects of
corporate risk management and
explored major property and liability
insurance.
Representatives from the Insurance
Company of North America (INA),
Johnson & Higgins, Aetna Life &
Casualty, the Insurance Institute of .
America, Kaiser Cement, B.F. Goodnch
and Greyhound Corporation lectured
during the conference.
The international insurance pro­gram
was funded, in part, by INA and
by Professor Bryan Heathcotte, who
teaches finance at American Graduate
School.
The agribusiness program was par­tially
funded by Continental Grain
Company and featured speakers from
that company, the American Cattle­man's
Association, Armour-Dial, the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange and
Pillsbury. Agricultural economists par­ticipated
from the Universities of
Arizona, Idaho and Illinois.
Dr. George Wattles, professor of
world business at American Graduate
School, coordinated the conference.
Lecturers speaking at the interna­tional
banking conference were: Chase
Manhattan, Chemical Bank, Citibank,
Continental Illinois, Dresdner, Harris,
Manufacturers Hanover, Mellon,
United California, Export/Import Bank
and the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco.
The international banking seminar
was directed by Dr. James Mills, pro­fessor
of economics at Thunderbird.
Barton Kyle Yount
honor given
Barbara Ann Bell, '79, was presented
with the Barton Kyle Yount Award at
American Graduate School of Interna­tional
Management's 75th commence­ment
exercises Friday, December 14,
1979.
The Barton Kyle Yount Award is the
school's highest honor and is pre­sented
at each commencement to the
student who would stand for the best
in American life.
Begun in 1951, the Barton Kyle
Yount Award is bestowed on that
member of each graduating class who
best epitomizes the late General's ideal
by scholastic and personal achieve­ment.
Bell attended Albion College in
Albion, Michigan and received her
Bachelor of Science degree with high­est
honors in Social Studies and Child
Development from Michigan State
University in 1976. She was selected as
one of 25 Outstanding Seniors at
Michigan State University and was
elected to Phi Kappa Phi, a scholastic
national honorary fraternity.
While at American Graduate School,
Bell served on the Alumni Advisory
Committee, the student advisory com­mittee
to the school's Board of
Trustees, the Spanish Club, the
Marketing Club and was chairperson
of the Placement Committee.
Panelists sponsored by American Manage1'l'!ent
Associations address the audience at Amerzcan
Graduate School.
Management group
sponsors panel discussion
Thunderbird students and
corporation managers who were
sponsored by American ~~nage~ent
Associations (AMA) partICIpated m a
"Research and Development" panel
discussion at American Graduate
School of International Management
(AGSIM) on January 31 .
The AMA panel members, all
experts in the field of research and
development, answered questions
posed by both the students and the
audience following a dinner and
cocktail party hosted by AGSIM.
Answering numerous questions
regarding research and development,
panel members indicated that often
companies are forced to do the re­search
and development within
foreign countries because manr, of .
those countries are fearful of abram
drain."
The language barrier was cited as
one of the main obstacles to fruitful
research and development.
Large organizations are generally
more hesitant to be innovative in
research and development because of
the intangibles involved, said panel
members.
David Secunda, vice president of
AMA, chaired the discussion.
Another panel, sponsored by the
AMA and AGSIM, is scheduled to be
held at Thunderbird on March 20. The
focus of that discussion will be
international business.

Unique scholarship offered
American Graduate School can now
boast of one of the most unique
scholarships ever awarded at a college
campus - the Pub Scholarship.
Approved by President William
Voris in January, an initial donation of
$5,500 was made by the Pub to the
Scholarship Fund.
Each Pub Scholarship awarded will
total $500. The recipient of the scholar­ship
may not be an incoming student,
must be in good academic standing
and must have financial need. Each re­cipient
will be required to donate five
hours of service per week to the Thun­derbird
Campus.
Fellow T -Birds
killed in Houston
It came as a profound shock to
myself and many other recent gradu­ates
that one of our fellow graduates
and his wife were killed in Houston,
Texas.
In my recent travels around the
country for International Harvester I
have been fortunate to be able to call
on Thunderbirds in each city I've
visited. Mary and Saad Jallad, '79, were
among the many I saw in Houston and
their warm hospitality, energetic
approach to life and obvious potential
for success are still fresh in my mind.
We all remember Mary from her
days in the ASLC office and of course,
Saad, from his multifaceted involve­ment
with American Graduate School
of International Management, its
faculty, students and community. He
was the promoter of the Thunderfund,
to which many of us pledged our
future earnings and through which we
planned to augment the facilities and
prestige of our school.
I am writing this note in memory of
Mary and Saad Jallad, in hopes that
each of us will take a moment to pray
for them. In the end we are all mortal,
it being only a matter of time. Let us
make the most of each day, remember­ing
that indeed the most important
thing in life is people.
The Jallads were lifters, continually
striving to raise themselves and those
around them to a better life. They set a
fine example as international citizens
and will be remembered as such by all
who knew them.

Corporations donate to
the Thunderbird Fund
Three major corporations have
donated unrestricted funds to Ameri­can
Graduate School of International
Management's Thunderbird Fund.
An annual supporter of Thunder­bird
since 1946, Chase Manhattan
Bank has contributed $5,000 this year.
The Nordson Foundation of
Amherst, Ohio has given Thunderbird
a support grant of $5,000. Founded in
1952 and funded by the late Mrs.
Walter C. Nord and the Nordson Cor­poration,
the Foundation's emphasis is
on giving in the areas of secondary and
higher education, social agencies, men­tal
health and the arts.
The school has received $650 in
Kodak employee/alumni grants
through Eastman Company's 1979 Ed­ucational
Aid Program. This year, the
Kodak employee/alumni grant to
Thunderbird was made on behalf of
William L. Roberts, '70, who is em­ployed
in Kodak's International Photo­graphic
Department.
Fall Thunderfund
exceeds pledge goal
The Fall '79 semester Thunderfund
drive exceeded its goal by $7,000 as
final statistics indicated that pledges by
graduating students reached an
impressive $40,000.
The Thunderfund was originally
scheduled to end on Friday, November
30, but was extended to allow the
pledges of graduating students who
were interviewing off campus to be
considered in the final statistics.
Recognizing that Thunderbirds will
need time to become established after
graduation, the Thunderfund effort
was designed to allow up to two years
to begin honoring a pledge and from
three to five years to complete the com­mitment.
Many of the graduates are expected
to go to work for companies with
matching gift programs, whereby the
employer matches the contributions
dollar for dollar and sometimes two or
three for one. This will greatly increase
the actual amount returned from what
is initially expected.
Hawaii
About 40 alumni and Thunderbird
Campus representatives attended an
alumni gathering at the Makalapa
CINPAC Officer's Club in Hawaii in
January.
Jean and John James Arthur,
registrar and college relations officer,
Rose and Charles Mannel, director of
career placement and Dr. Robert G.
Horn, director of development and
public affairs attended the party.
Arthur and Mannel were in Hawaii
to attend the 30th annual conference of
the Western College Placement Associ­ation.
Horn was on a business trip en
route to Japan and the Peoples Repub­lic
of China.
Arrangements for the party were
made by Harry A. Fanning, '59, with
the assistance of William Butler, '52,
Fred M. Smoot, '66, and Ron R.
Pfaffiin, '73.
Said Arthur, "It was a delightful ex­perience
for the school visitors and
they wish to express their gratitude to
everyone."
Panama
Three T -Birds are among a group of
American businessmen who recently
formed a trade group to further foreign
investments in Panama.
The group, under the name Ameri­can
Chamber of Commerce and Indus­try
of Panama, was founded by
William H. Cunningham, '58, and
Lewis Mavaglia, '6l.
Operating with a 12-member board
of directors, the group plans to further
the export of Panamanian products,
particularly to the Central American
region, to promote trade between the
United States and Panama and to re­present
its members before local au­thorities
and kindred groups.
Robert Pesquiera, '60, is a member of
the American Chamber of Commerce
board of directors.
Spain
Spain Thunderbirds enjoyed the
delicious food and relaxing
atmosphere of Alf Johnsen's, '57,
popular Vihara Restaurant last Decem­ber.
The enthusiastic holiday occasion
was attended by 20 alumni and Ginny
Krivis, 'BO, who is a student at Thun­derbird.
Krivis quickly went to work on a
post-holiday reunion, which was held
in January. The reunion featured a
social exchange between the Spain T­Birds
and their local equivalent - the
Escuela de Organizacion Industrial.
The party was an evening to be
remembered, attended by 19 Thunder­birds
and 12 EOI graduates. Two cur­rent
students from Thunderbird also
attended the get-together.
The January dinner and cocktail par­ty
was again held at the Vihara Restau­rant
at bargain prices. Johnsen has
become the generous "patron" of
Spain T -Birds.
Krivis and her EOI counterpart,
Adela Melgar, hope more joint gather­ings
will be held.
California

Visitor lectures on global
development
"National development should serve
basic human needs rather than focus­ing
on increasing industrialization,"
according to Dr. Chadwick Alger, pro­fessor
of political science and public
policy at Ohio State University.
In addition to his position at OSU,
Alger is the author of several books
and monographs dealing with interna­tional
politics, the United Nations and
United States foreign affairs. He has
served on the editorial board of Instant
Research on Peace and Violence and is
a member of the board of directors of
the World Without War Council and
the All-World City Inc.
Speaking on "Peace, Freedom and
Development in the Global Context" at
the Thunderbird Campus last Febru­ary,
Alger noted that "the admission of
16 former African colonies to the U.N.
in 1960 was the end of the traditional
colonial relationship there." He added
that many officials have perceived U.N.
participation in the peaceful transition
of power as one of that organization's
greatest achievements.
Like peace, development has under­gone
evolution in the past two decades,
according to Alger. The trend has been
toward economic aid, but Alger noted
that this type of aid has widened the
economic gap between the Third
World and developed nations. "The
poor nations stay poor because of the
ways they are tied to the rich coun­tries,"
said Alger, "international eco­nomic
inequity prevents change."
The Thunderbird Speaker's Commit­tee
arranged Alger's visit to campus.

"Foreign diplomats should have knowledge
of ?ne or two of the main foreign languages, /I
saId former French Ambassador Robert Luc.
Photo by Enrique Me/ian, '80.
Former ambassador
critiques U.S. foreign
policy
Former French Ambassador Robert
Luc spoke to students and faculty on
November 12, 1979, criticizing the
United States foreign policy system.
Having spent 38 years in the French
Foreign Service, Luc is knowledgeable
about foreign affairs. He criticized U.S.
bureaucracy for creating problems in
U.s. foreign policy decisions. "A major
concern would be to strengthen the
authority of diplomats," Luc told
about 200'people.
He noted that the extensive role of
the U.s. Congress in determining
foreign policy was disturbing, "It's
bound to put the diplomat in a weaker
position in his country."
Luc suspects that former Secretary of
S~ate Henry Kissinger's "lone ranger"
dIplomacy was a result of a distrust of
the State Department. But, Luc also
warned against diplomats" assuming
all the responsibility," as Kissinger did,
Luc noted that Kissinger's "lone
ranger" diplomacy was a scandalous
waste of money and skill. "Kissinger
admitted a major mistake was not
using the skill of the State Department,
but he found out too late," added Luc.
Another problem with the U.S.
foreign policy system is that diplomats
are usually already independently
wealthy and have little or no foreign
training, indicated Luc.
He noted, "Foreign diplomats
should have knowledge of one or two
of the main foreign languages." But
Luc indicated that the quality of career
diplomats, especially the younger ones,
is increasing.
Luc also spoke of the role of the US.
in Africa, saying it was ideal right now.
He stressed the main concern for the
U.S. should be a genuine wish for the
goodwill of Africa and added that the
Soviet Union is "losing some of the
benefits of its strength. I don't believe
they are winning at the present."
Former French President Charles
DeGaulle was cited by Luc as a model
for an efficient foreign policy maker.
The Thunderbird Campus Speaker's
Committee was responsible for making
Luc's visit here possible.
Diplomat discusses
dollar problems
The United States is leading in infla­tion
and the present problem must be
tackled, according to a recent campus
speaker.
Ambassador David Kennedy spoke
to Thunderbird Campus students and
faculty last November 15.
Addressing about 300 people, Ken­nedy
discussed the U.S. dollar and
world trade.
He spoke in favor of a substitute
account that would soak up excess dol­lars
and replace them with other paper
currencies. "The dollar would be
frozen there, and there would be less
pressure on it," he said.
To insure economic stability, Ken­nedy
encouraged "the discipline of our
administration in getting our house in
order and obtaining fiscal security."
Said Kennedy, "It's not easy to
change our minds once inflation has
started."
Kennedy is turrently a member of
the U.S. Treasury Advisory Committee
on Reform of the International Mone­tary
System.
Prof indicates Mexico's
export future good
The evolution of export goods in
Mexico, which has taken place in the
last 15 years indicates many changes,
observed J. Rubin Velasco at the Thun­derbird
Campus last November.
Velasco, chairman and professor in
the Geology department at the Univer­sity
of Sonora in Mexico, was address­ing
American Graduate School stu­dents
and faculty about modern Mex­ico's
export profile.
"Mexico is turning into an export
country of finished products," said
Velasco. "Employment for the Mexican
people and a balanced economy is the
policy of the Mexican government."
Not only does Mexico have a tre­mendous
future in oil production,
according to Velasco, mineral produc­tion
in that country is 30 to 50 years
behind. He believes Mexico's mines
have encouraging potential.
Energy in transition
says speaker
Is the energy transition a crisis or an
opportunity? - asked Bob Evans,
while speaking at American Graduate
School.
Evans, a former foreign correspon­dent
for CBS News in the Middle East,
was addressing students on "Oil is
Power" on January 30, 1980.
The energy crisis is not a unique
situation, said Evans. Twice before the
world had to readjust its sources of
energy. The first change came at the
close of the 18th century, when coal
burning replaced wood burning as a
source of energy. The second energy
revolution came about with the onset
of the 20th century, when industry re­placed
coal with oil.
"We are now on the verge of a new
revolution," from oil to new sources,
according to Evans.
Evans is the president of Televans
Productions and is a film producer. His
appearance here was made possible by
the Speaker's Committee.
Crossing continued from page 6
to be very rude. People will look at
your mouth to determine wh~ther
you're telling the truth." She adds that
an individual should never gesticulate
with his finger to ask someone to
approach him, "You call people you
despise like that."
Professor Karl Magyar also called
attention to some essential rules for
conduct in Africa, "Dress well, but be
conservative. Always use your title."
Occasionally an African will invite an
American businessman to his home.
When this occurs, it is appropriate to
bring a small gift reflecting the guest's
culture, but Professor Magyar adds,
"Stay away from liquor or cigarettes.
Remember, you may be dealing with a
Muslim. Don't discuss any personal
matters and don't offer any standard
Western forms of entertainment."
"Managing Cultural Differences" sug­gests
that business not be discussed
when a businessman is invited to a
meal at an African's home. In addition,
caution should be exercised regarding
political discussions. Professor Magyar
advises avoiding discussion of politics
at all costs, "An African might take
great offense."
The way in which Americans
approach time when doing business in
Africa may have a critical effect on suc­cess
or failure. Americans are generally
task oriented and inflexible when it
comes to being on time; they regard
lateness with suspicion and distrust.
Just the opposite is true for Africans.
"People come first, then time. . .
Since trust is very essential, individuals
who follow inflexible time schedules
will have little success," as written in
"Managing Cultural Differences. "Pro­fessor
Magyar suggests that "an Amer­ican
always be on time, even if the
African is not." An African may be
several hours late for meetings and
business negotiations could develop
slowly, but a patient American will be
pleased with his long run success.
One barrier to success in Africa is
bribery. African bribery is rooted in
traditional family obligation. Once an
African family member becomes finan­cially
successful he is obligated to pro­vide
funds for his family, which are
often far in excess of his income. How­ever,
the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act, signed into U.S. law in 1977 makes
overseas bribery illegal. Said Professor
Magyar, "Bribery is a question that has
to be dealt with. American businesses
have a tremendous problem with this."
It remains up to the American compa­ny
to determine how to deal with
African bribery customs.
In establishing business relation­ships
in Africa, it is necessary to be
aware that Africans believe age to be
an asset. Africans are of the opinion
that people attain wisdom with age
and consequently, respect the opinions
of the elderly. Accordingly, it may be a
hindrance to an American who is con­siderably
younger than the African
with whom he is doing business. How­ever,
"Managing Cultural Differences"
noted that". . . if sincerity, respect
and empathy are shown, the American
will receive a positive response." In
addition, it is advised that the younger
individual show restraint in opposing
the opinions of the older person.
Africans and Americans will find
mutual satisfaction in relationships
based on friendship, trust and a genu­ine
understanding of the communica­tion
process. Gertrude Muloli said, "1
think the Americans are slowing down
and beginning to understand the
Africans. They have come not to
impose their culture, but instead, to
conduct successful business ventures."
